2001 GMC Sierra 1500 Pickup Owner's Manual - Page 22

Easy Entry Seat (Extended Cab Only) (If Equipped) CAUTION: If any easy entry seat isn't locked, it can move. In a sudden stop or crash, the person sitting there could be injured. And, even if there is no crash or sudden stop, a driver sitting in an unlocked easy entry seat could be startled by the sudden movement and hit the wrong control or pedal, causing an accident. After you've used it, be sure to push rearward on any easy entry seat to be sure it is locked. The driver's side manual front bucket seat and the driver's side manual split bench seat in your vehicle may have an easy entry feature. This makes it easy to get in and out of the rear seat. The lever is located on the outboard side of the seat. To operate it, pull forward on the top of this lever and tilt the seatback fully forward toward the front of the vehicle. When you do, the seat bottom will release. Pull or push the seat forward until it stops. To return the seat to its regular position, return the seatback to its upright position and push the whole seat rearward by the seatback until it latches without pulling forward on the adjustment lever. After returning the seat to its regular position, try to move the seat with your body in order to make sure the seat is locked into place. 1-9
